What might be the cause of such silence? Are Apple and Maynor finally talking? (In my personal experience of trying to learn more about security issues with Apple products, Apple ignores questions. They ignored questions when I name dropped. They ignored questions when I mentioned things like being an editorial board member at the CVE project.)

So one possible interpretation of events is that there was serious mis-communication, and the parties involved are now having interesting discussions.

If that’s the case, then Gruber is trying to pour gasoline on a fire that others are trying to extinguish.
